Children Who Chase Lost Voices

I rarely rate full stars but this movie deserves it all. Despite this movie released on 2011, the quality of the anime still better than any other recent movie. Surprised that isnt made by studio ghibli. Amazing animation, outstanding sound scores and effects, interesting original storyline with amazing world building aspect. Amazing voice casts and characters design fit perfectly with the tone of this movie and the plot. Thrilling adventure and great action scenes. Exciting horror part of this movie. This movie got everything that you could ask for. Great representation of certain culture and myth. Brought me to tear at the end. ' Staying alive is a blessing, so live your life with no regrets and stop chasing after the ghosts from your past. Move on'. Not to forget the end credit scene song was so calming and sounds beautiful. Highly recommended, not a typical movie for underage children due to horrific scenes.

This movie has a such wonderful plot which makes me feel like I really hop into the journey with excitement and nervousness. I could really sense the feeling of the adventure that has a combination of bittersweetness, pureness, innocence of friendship, love, loyalty in the movie. The music goes on perfectly throughout the movie. the animation of the characters are really beautiful together with the scenery and the filter. the graphic has a filter that has a calmness in it A worth to watch movie for people who loves adventure fantasy movie with some twists in the story!

Now, I'm not the kind of person to pay attention to the details when it comes to anime or other kinds of media, but this little piece of art here changed that. The first time I watched this, I cried. I cried for a solid ten minutes. And I found myself sitting in pure awe, admiring every single scene, and listening to every bit of story. I was purely captivated by it all. This is how it should be done.

Wow, was I disappointed. First, it was boring. The cat-ish thing made weird sounds and creeped out my sister. And the girl showed ABSELUTLEY NO STRONG EMOTION WHATSOEVER!!!!! And then she meets a kid for what, a day? And risks her life when he dies stupidly NOT THINKING AT ALL of her deceased father. Then she journeys into Agartha and they run into a creature. "Yay!! action, finally" I say. But no. They walk by the pointless creature effortlessly. *sigh* and we keep watching, comforted by the fact that its only rated PG. I honestly don't remember what happens in this chunk 'cause it was insanely boring. So shes having a dream now. and its comepletley pleasant until the guy reaches down to give the girl a hand up, she takes it, AND THE GUYS FREAKING ARM COMES OFFF!!!! my sister runs screaming into the other room and in the commotion I see a scene taken directly from princess mononoke. completely, 100 percent princess mononoke. And *beep*, this is where we stop watching the movie.
